项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) is a pioneer in HIV research, a leader of HIV behavioral research and interventions with the transgender (hereafter “trans”) community and has been a training ground for HIV scientists since the beginning of the epidemic. Trans people are a key population most severely affected by HIV, but they are under-served in the epidemic response. Intervention trials do not adequately include trans people, and when they are included it is often with other populations without the sample size to power analyses that can determine the benefit of breakthroughs in HIV prevention and care. HIV behavioral research often misses the mark in asking the questions and gathering the right data needed to determine reasons for elevated risk and identify appropriate modalities for intervention. To move the epidemic to zero new infections, zero AIDS deaths, and zero stigma, scientists with expertise in trans population health must play a significant scientific role in the response to HIV, especially those from underrepresented populations in the US biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences research enterprise. There is a paucity of HIV behavioral scientists with expertise in trans population health to do this work, and to our knowledge, there are no known mentoring programs to train scholars in HIV behavioral science and trans population health. Our team has decades of HIV research training experience and we are also experts in HIV behavioral research with trans communities, having run studies for almost 20 years and with 8 HIV behavioral studies with the trans community currently in the field. Building on our research and mentoring experiences, we propose “SHINE Strong” – a mentoring program committed to the long-term development of HIV behavioral scientists with expertise in trans population health. Our specific aims are to: (1) Develop an HIV behavioral research training program for undergraduates from underrepresented populations in the US biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences research enterprise interested in trans population health that will include intensive summer research, year-long mentored projects, and life-long career advocacy and social support; (2) Work collaboratively with scholars to develop career plans, pathways to independence, support systems, and capacities for culturally and medically relevant trans health research; and (3) Create and sustain a network of mentors from diverse backgrounds to support scholars’ careers in trans population health research. The 5-year grant will recruit 4 cohorts of 3 scholars each. The program entails: (a) an intensive summer of interdisciplinary training, development of a career plan, design of an HIV-related study, and networking with the local research community; (b) completion of a 1-year mentored research project; (c) an online learning platform with scheduled, asynchronous peer-to-peer exchanges; and (d) a final Research Forum presentation for the local trans and scientific communities and the next cohort of scholars.

项目概要/摘要旧金山公共卫生部 (SFDPH) 是艾滋病毒研究的先驱、艾滋病毒行为研究和跨性别者（以下简称“跨性别者”）社区干预措施的领导者，自疫情爆发以来一直是艾滋病毒科学家的培训基地跨性别者是受艾滋病毒影响最严重的关键人群，但他们在流行病应对中得不到充分的服务。干预试验没有充分包括跨性别者，而且当他们被纳入时，往往也与其他人群一起，但样本量不足以支持分析。可以确定艾滋病毒预防方面取得突破的好处科学家们指出，艾滋病毒行为研究在提出问题和收集确定风险升高的原因并确定适当的干预方式所需的正确数据方面常常没有抓住重点，以实现零新增感染、零艾滋病死亡和零耻辱。具有跨性别人群健康专业知识的人必须在应对艾滋病毒方面发挥重要的科学作用，特别是那些来自美国生物医学、临床、行为和社会科学研究企业中代表性不足的人群。具有跨性别人群专业知识的艾滋病毒行为科学家非常缺乏。开展这项工作的人口健康，据我们所知，目前还没有已知的指导计划来培训艾滋病毒行为科学和跨性别人群健康方面的学者。我们的团队拥有数十年的艾滋病毒研究培训经验，而且我们也是跨性别社区艾滋病毒行为研究的专家，开展了近乎研究。 20 年来，我们在该领域对跨性别群体进行了 8 项艾滋病毒行为研究，基于我们的研究和指导经验，我们提出了“SHINE Strong”——一项致力于长期发展具有跨性别专业知识的艾滋病毒行为科学家的指导计划。我们的具体目标是： (1) 为来自美国生物医学、临床、行为和社会科学研究企业中对跨性别人群健康感兴趣的代表性不足人群的本科生制定艾滋病毒行为研究培训计划，其中包括密集的夏季研究、为期一年的指导项目和终生研究。长期职业倡导和社会支持；(2) 与学者合作制定职业计划、独立之路、支持系统以及文化和医学相关跨性别健康研究的能力；(3) 创建和维持来自不同背景的导师网络；支持学者的背景为期 5 年的资助将招募 4 组，每组 3 名学者。该计划包括：(a) 夏季强化跨学科培训、制定职业计划、设计艾滋病毒相关研究。与当地研究界建立联系；(b) 完成为期 1 年的指导研究项目；(c) 提供定期、异步的同行交流的在线学习平台；以及 (d) 为当地进行的最终研究论坛演示跨性别者和科学界以及下一个学者群体。
